You donât need to post praises from tesla car club. We know you and they love their car. Honda Odyssey club people love their minivan too.

It is not about a fanboy touting their new toy. It is a beautiful story of how a spouse outsmarted their husband to get the car they wanted and how the husband ultimately completely turned around.
This is the ultimate first world problem.
tl;dr from that Tesla link: my husband and I both got a TM3âŚ
You never seen this nonsense for any other brand out there. Yes you and your husband are getting matching MASS PRODUCED cars.
Congrats!

Wow, that doesnât sound like the best functioning relationship. Impulsively reserving a model 3 without consulting your spouse, AND reserving another one without telling him for months? Yikes.

Itâs all relative, $1000 deposit could be a drop in the bucket for them. Plus itâs a refundable deposit.
Mass produced might be a stretch, they certainly havenât mass produced the base model.

I want to see who is getting their high school kid a Tesla M3. Come on . Canât have junior driving a plain Lexus while Mom and Dad drive the uber coolest latest Tesla!!!
It comes off an automated assembly line with dozens of robotsâŚitâs as mass produced as any other car ever manufactured.
Just because the robots sometimes broke down doesnât change the TM3âs mass produced definition

Oh I was implying that 5000 cars a month is pretty minimal compared with any other manufacturer
Cleantechnica estimating 16K aneurysmâs for July. 20K for August?
That is more aneurysms than mercedes C/CLS/E/CLA, BMW 5/4/3/2 series and Audi A4/A5/A3/A6/A7 series.
The majority of the cars on that list arenât in the same league as the Model 3. I can throw a whole bunch of numbers at you too.
And I doubt itâs sustainable, werenât allot of these pent up deliveries due to quality issues, ie cars sitting around waiting to get corrected. At this rate they might have 0.75% of the market in a few years. How many base Model 3 deliveries have there been?
https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2018-tesla-tracker/
Bloomberg estimating 4.5K cars this week and 6K Model 3âs per week following. What is your estimate for sustainable?
All that shows is they are making the cars. Thatâs not a guarantee they will sell.
Again, the decline in MB C, BWW 3, AUDI A4 are decause of GLC, X3 and Q5. Not because of Model3. In fact, sedans and coupes as we can see today, are dying. Maybe the tread can change once again, but it is what it is now.
And comparing sale figure to much more upscale cars is also ridiculous. Why not compare to the entire production of McClaren. Honda Accord got the entire production of Telsa beated as well.
I donât hate my TM3, but too many times I want to distance myself from the car just because the nonsense fanboy-ism, just too much wrong information and subjective bias going around.

Check out the last paragraph
âIf Tesla canât figure out how to make more cars soon, it could open a lane for rivals from Detroit and overseas to establish the high-volume market for a $35,000 electric carâone that Tesla has had in its sights from its very beginning. Muskâs ambitions are big, and they all ride on meeting the unprecedented demand for the Model 3.â
Nobody will buy a competitorâs car when the Tesla Model 3 is the worldâs greatest production car.
